[OS X Emacs] 1.5 and "open -a"

[David Reitter]

Tom,
you're right about this.
The reason for it is that the last visible frame is not actually  
deleted when you press Command-W, but hidden, because GNU Emacs is  
unable to delete the last remaining frame (at least not without  
crashing).

I can add a workaround to the workaround by actually deleting the  
hidden frame after the user has opened another one.
